Battlefield
Bloodstained the battlefield, oh rose of my day
Bloodstained the battlefield and I’ve gone away
To play with the bonny boys who now have no home
To play with the bonny boys who always shall roam
Cold steel my lover now, as hard as my heart
Cold steel my lover now that tore us apart
Heavy as the gleaming gold right here in my hand
Heavy as the gleaming gold when I joined this band
Deserts are all I know where once there was joy
Deserts are all I’ve know since I was a boy
Stain’d red like a sunset now I am a man
Stain’d red like a sunset, from foes’ flesh it ran
Laughter rings in my ears in battle it lies
Laughter rings in my ears when foemen they die
Distant are the families that we left behind
Distant are the families while we hold the line
Demons surround me and devils my friends
Demons surround me, we are devils not men.
Our hearts they are forfeit to the joy of the fight
Our hearts they are forfeit, no mercy just might
Scarlet my tunic as here I must lie
Scarlet my tunic as here I must die
Struck through the midriff so deep and so sharp
Struck through the midriff and right through my heart
